RE: Do not issue temporary reject when spamd is unavailable.

OK, so I want to have my exim scan with Spam Assassin.  if spamassassin is
busy I want the email sent through to the end user and not scanned again
later.  I've tried /defer_ok in a few places but my problem is when it
defers, it sends the email through anyway then scnas it again..it resulted
in multiple copies of email getting through.  How would I configure this
group of statements to satisfy my needs (I don;t like how that sounded ha
ha)

warn    message = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score ($spam_bar)
        spam = nobody:true
warn   message = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report
       spam = nobody:true
warn    message = Subject: *SPAM* $h_subject:
       spam = nobody
deny   message = This message scored $spam_score spam points
       spam = nobody:true
       condition = ${if > {$spam_score_int}{60}{1}{0}}

Thanks
Frank
